1 HUMAN RESOURCE COMPETENCIES: RESPONDING TO INCREASED EXPECTATIONS Dave Ulrich,Wayne Brockbank, Dani Johnson, and Jon Younger No one doubts that the bar has been raised on human resources. The HR profession began by HR professionals focusing on terms and conditions of work so that employees would feel fairly treated. Today, the business world faces enormous change, and HR professionals must do more than manage employee terms and conditions. As the bar has been raised on HR, some lament that HR professionals cannot meet these higher expectations and should be discounted or downsized and its functions automated or outsourced. We believe that instead of denigrating HR, we should upgrade HR professionals and HR departments to meet the challenges that confront contemporary organization. To respond to the raised bar, we propose how HR professionals can respond to increased challenges. We begin with a brief synopsis of the business context that raises new expectations of HR, then we report the results of our research on over 10,000 respondents around the world that defines what HR professionals must know and do to deliver value. BUSINESS CONTEXT In the world of business, familiar themes continually surface. 1 Globalization has made the world a global village and new markets (particularly in China, India, Brazil, and Russia) offer new challenges and opportunities. Global issues like trade barriers, exchange rates, tariffs, and distribution become important elements of managerial choice. Technology has increased accessibility, visibility, and connection. The connected world is smaller, changing rapidly, and transparent. Customers have become increasingly segmented, literate, and demanding. Investors have become increasingly attuned to and actively concerned about not only financial results, but also intangibles. Competitors come from both traditional large global players and increasingly smaller inventors. Employees represent increasingly diverse demographic backgrounds. In some 1
2 parts of the world, employees are aging more than in others. Employee expectations are constantly rising as they gain in education and skills. Most of these trends are outside the control of any one individual or any one company. They occur in both predictable and unpredictable ways. They affect all aspects of business from how to fund a firm to how to position the firm in customer minds and how to engineer and deliver products. They also affect human resources. HR practices are becoming more integrated, aligned, and innovative. HR departments are operating more like a business within the business with a clear strategy and channels of distribution. HR professionals are being asked to help businesses compete, and to do so, HR professionals must not only observe, but also understand and adapt to these business trends. HR professionals are expected to contribute by the competencies they possess. HR COMPETENCIES OVERVIEW For HR professionals to respond to changing business conditions, they must demonstrate new competencies. HR professionals who would have been successful in previous decades would not be effective today. We have worked for the last 20 years to identify the competencies that enable HR professionals to respond to the business conditions. HR competencies are the values, knowledge, and abilities of HR professionals. HR professionals with the right competencies will perform better. They will be more likely to engage employees, to serve customers, and to create intangible shareholder wealth. HR competencies define what is expected from those who work in HR and form the basis for assessment and improvement in the quality of HR professionals. Since 1988, we have been working to track the ever-evolving competencies of HR professionals. When we began our work in the mid-1980s, the primary effort to study broadbased HR competencies was by Patricia McLagan sponsored by American Society of Training and Development (ASTD). Her work initially examined competencies of HR development professionals, and then she generalized that work to all HR professionals. 2 At the same time, many companies worked to create their own internal HR competency models. This work would generally start by identifying high- and low-performing HR professionals and then interview these two groups around critical incidents to determine which values, knowledge, or abilities 2
3 distinguished the two groups in order to develop competencies that would lead to high performance. 3 Out of these independent efforts grew many frameworks for HR competencies, but there were relatively few efforts to define HR competencies for HR professionals across firms, industries, or geographies. We began our research on competencies with the desire to resolve three issues: 1. Define the competencies that add greatest value to key stakeholders. 2. Figure out how HR professionals develop these competencies in the fastest and most effective ways. 3. Determine how HR competencies and HR practices align to business performance. To address these issues for the HR profession, we chose to do a large-scale survey (Human Resources Competency Study, HRCS) of HR professionals and their HR and non-hr associates. This work has resulted in five waves of data collection (1988, 1992, 1997, 2002, and now 2007). 4 At each wave we used the same basic methodology for data collection based on a 30 methodology. We sent surveys to HR professionals (participants) who then gave them to their colleagues (associates). These surveys asked about the competencies and performance of the HR professional and the performance of the business where the HR professional worked. Demographic Results The 2007 round of our research has about 1,700 participants and 8,300 associate raters in six regions around the world. 5 The number of respondents by region can be seen in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 1: Demographics by Region Australia / U.S. & Latin Europe China Asia Canada America Pacific India # of Respondents 2,773 2,127 1,553 2,110 1, % of Respondents
4 These respondents represent three groups: 1. Participating HR professionals completed the survey in evaluating themselves 2. HR professionals who are peers or associates evaluated the participating HR professionals. 3. Non-HR associates who are generally line executives and internal customers evaluated the participating HR professionals These groups provided the opportunity to look at different perspectives regarding HR as a profession, the HR department, and the competencies needed by HR professionals to be effective in their organization. Exhibit 2 shows the demographics in these data over 20 years. Since these data represent a large cross section of the HR profession, we can make some general observations about the evolving profession. q Gender. There has been a sizeable shift in the number of women in HR. In the last 18 years, the percentage of women in the HR profession has increased from about percent to over 50 percent. This percentage reflects not only the number of women who are associates (those who rated the participant), but also those who are HR participants themselves. This may be due to more women entering the workforce and HR being a profession of choice for them. q Education. This sample consistently focuses on HR professionals with a higher education (78 percent are college educated in 2007 study). Although this number has dropped somewhat compared with previous rounds of the study (87 percent in 2002; 90 percent in 1997), the study continues to draw on HR professionals with higher education and shows that many HR professionals have obtained advanced education. q Level of Participant. We classified HR professionals into four levels (loosely consistent with four stages of careers). In the 2007 data, 21 percent of participating HR professionals described themselves as a senior HR executive. This may be because the 2007 data set has more smaller firms with fewer HR professionals, but those in place are doing more director level work. q Size of Firm. We started the research focused on larger firms (rounds one and two had 4
5 39 percent and 40 percent of respondents in firms with over 10,000 employees), but in 2007 data, we wanted to also study HR competencies in smaller firms (20 percent of respondents in firms with over 10,000 employees and 31 percent of respondents in firms with fewer than 500 employees). q Primary role of HR participant. In the 2007 study, more HR professionals (14 percent) have titles related to HR strategy or planning. In the last 20 years, more resources have gone into this role as HR has worked to be more aligned with business results. The number of HR professionals doing work in benefits has declined as e-hr and service centers have streamlined benefits operations.

This analysis grouped the questions by likeness to yield six distinct competency domains. These domains are defined with the idea in mind that HR competencies include not just knowledge, ability, and values, but the ability to use this knowledge. We see HR professionals as needing to know, but more importantly, needing to do what they know. Exhibit 3 shows the Round 5 HR Competency Model, which is explained further below. 7
8 Exhibit 3: HR Competency Model This figure suggests that HR professionals must master competencies dealing both with people and business issues (large arrows). In the changing business conditions, HR professionals should serve the organization's people, communicating care, concern, and compassion for employees. Some have called this the human in human resources. But the business conditions also require that HR professionals be attuned to customer and investor expectations by making sure that strategies are designed and delivered. Following one of these two paths independent of the other leads to failure. HR professionals who emphasize the people side at the exclusion of the business side may be well liked and popular, but they will not succeed because their work does not further business goals. HR professionals who focus on the business side without sensitivity to the human element will also not succeed because while the business may prosper in the short term, people will not sustain the success in the longer term. Within these two dimensions, we arrayed six domains of HR competence, dealing with relationships, processes, and capabilities. Each is defined further below. 1. Credible Activist. The HR professional is both credible (respected, admired, listened to) and active (offers a point of view, takes a position, challenges 8
9 assumptions). Some have called this HR with an attitude. HR professionals who are credible but not activists are admired but do not have much impact. Those who are activists but not credible may have ideas but will not be listened to. 2. Culture and Change Steward. The HR professional appreciates, articulates, and helps shape a company s culture. Culture is a pattern of activities more than a single event. Ideally this culture starts with clarity around external customer expectations (firm identity or brand) and then translates these expectations into internal employee and organization behaviors. As stewards of culture, HR professionals respect the past culture and also can help to shape a new culture. They coach managers in how their actions reflect and drive culture; they weave the cultural standards into HR practices and processes; and they make culture real to employees. Additionally, successful HR professionals facilitate change in two ways. First, they help make culture happen. Second, they develop disciplines to make changes happen throughout the organization. This may include implementation of strategy, projects, or initiatives. They help turn what is known into what is done. 3. Talent Manager /Organizational Designer. The HR professional masters theory, research, and practice in both talent management and organization design. Talent management focuses on competency requirements and how individuals enter and move up, across, or out of the organization. Organization design focuses on how a company embeds capability (for example, collaboration) into the structure, processes, and policies that shape how an organization works. HR professionals ensure that the company s means of talent management and organizational capabilities are aligned with customer requirements and strategy, integrated with each other, and working effectively and efficiently. HR is not just about talent or organization, but also about the two of them together. Good talent without a supporting organization will not be sustained, and a good organization will not deliver results without talented individuals with the right competencies in critical roles. 9
10 4. Strategy Architect. The HR professional has a vision for how the organization can win in the future and plays an active part in the establishment of the overall strategy to deliver on this vision. This means recognizing business trends and their impact on the business, forecasting potential obstacles to success, and facilitating the process of gaining strategic clarity. The HR professional also contributes to the building of the overall strategy by linking the internal organization to external customer expectations. This linkage helps make customer-driven business strategies real to the employees of the company. 5. Operational Executor. The HR professional executes the operational aspects of managing people and organizations. Policies need to be drafted, adapted, and implemented. Employees also have many administrative needs (e.g., to be paid, relocated, hired, and trained). HR professionals ensure that these basic needs are efficiently dealt with through technology, shared services, and/or outsourcing. This operational work of HR ensures credibility if executed flawlessly and grounded in the consistent application of policies.. Business Ally. Businesses succeed by setting goals and objectives that respond to external opportunity and threats. HR professionals contribute to the success of a business by knowing the social context or setting in which their business operates. They also know how the business makes money, which we call the value chain of the business (who customers are, why they buy the company s products or services). Finally, they have a good understanding of the parts of the business (finance, marketing, research and development, engineering), what they must accomplish and how they work together, so that they can help the business organize to make money. KEY FINDINGS The findings of Round 5 of the HRCS are divided into three areas: (1) general findings, (2) findings that matter to individual HR professionals, and (3) findings that focus on the HR department. 7 10
11 General Findings q Differences in Perception. When we compared results of HR associates versus non-hr associates, two specific differences became apparent: 1. Customer Views for HR. Non-HR associate raters believe that external customers can and should be brought into the HR work. HR respondents did not perceive this. This indicates that HR practitioners may still be defining customers as employees and line managers and not as the external customers of the firm. HR professionals need to pay more attention to the real external customer and find ways to bring them into the organization. 2. Designing Rewards Systems. Non-HR associate raters seem to see reward systems (compensation, benefits, performance appraisal, etc.) as connected to the HR practices of talent management and organization development. HR associates and participants put reward activities together with operational / tactical items. This is a fascinating difference in opinion. It may be that HR departments are shifting their more strategic work to talent and organization, and compensation is beginning to be more routine and transactional. It may be that compensation and talent management/organization design professionals are becoming separated (compensation people don t attend talent management/organization design conferences, and vice versa). This could be a weakness in building an integrated view of HR practices. Clearly, compensation systems affect or at least reinforce actions of employees, but they may not be as integrated as they could or should be with other HR work. q Emerging Markets. The amount of emphasis put on each of the competencies for HR professionals varies by emerging vs. traditional markets. In emerging markets (India, China), HR professionals need to pay more attention to the "Operational Executor" and "Business Ally" skills, whereas in the mature markets these items are seen as table stakes or tickets of admission to the partner role. 11
12 q Talent Manager and Organization Designer. In our initial factor analysis, talent and organization items factored within the same domain, indicating that while they are different, they need to be connected. It is not enough to get good people (ergo a danger of moving to human capital) without organization that sustains it. This is a significant shift away from the current trend, where many HR professionals focus extensively on talent management. Talent management without attention to organization capability is insufficient. This idea is reinforced by the impact that the HR department has on business performance. HR departments account for around 25 percent of business performance, whereas HR competencies of individual HR professionals account for about 20 percent. q Culture Steward. In previous rounds of HRCS, culture was subsumed under strategic contribution. In Round 5, it formed a unique domain. Evidently in the last few years HR s ability to define, create, manage, and change culture has become a unique source of competence that HR professionals must demonstrate. Somewhat ironically, this domain is the second-highest rated in predicting performance of both HR professional and HR department effectiveness (above Strategy Architect and Talent Manager/Organization Designer). So, HR professionals are being asked to manage culture and they seem to be doing it better than some of the more traditional roles. This may indicate a shift in how HR is viewed. Findings for the HR professional q Business Impact. Based on other research, management has about 50 percent influence on a firm s performance; the other 50 percent is outside the control of management (economic conditions, competitors actions, etc.). 8 HR is a part of the managerial 50 percent (in addition to choices about strategy, marketing, manufacturing, etc). The overall impact of what HR professionals know and do has increased in terms of its impact on business performance to roughly 20 percent. So, the competencies of HR professionals account for roughly 20 percent of the 50 percent of managerial impact on business results. 12
13 q More Active Role. Increasingly, business demands place a higher set of expectations on HR professionals. Non-HR professionals want more from HR professionals than ever before. q Credible Activist. This domain showed the highest importance in predicting the effectiveness of an HR professional. HR professionals must earn their credibility by building relationships of trust, but they then must take an active stance to make a difference in results. Credibility is not enough without action, particularly action within the other five domains. q Culture and Change Steward, Talent Manager/Organization Designer, and Strategy Architect. These three competency domains of HR competence form a collection of things HR professionals must know and do to make a difference. As noted, culture means turning events into patterns. Talent Managers ensure a flow of future talent. Organization Designers make sure that the organization has the capabilities to compete. Strategy Architects help the business develop and implement plans that improve competitiveness and customer relationships. q Business Ally and Operational Executor. We find that these competency domains are table stakes. They are necessary but not sufficient. As mentioned above, in emerging markets (China, India) these are more important for the success of the HR professional than in more mature markets, where the managers may assume that HR professionals can and do do these things. Findings for the HR Department q HR Department Focus. HR departments have 25 percent more impact on the performance of the business than the competencies of the HR professionals. In previous rounds of the study, we encouraged building the competencies of individual HR professionals; now we also need to make sure that the HR department works well as a function. 13
14 q Stakeholders. HR departments need to focus on a mix of all stakeholders to have full impact on the business. We assume (did not test) that in previous years, HR primarily focused on employees and line managers, but we found that an equal focus on customers, investors, and communities affects business results. It is not enough to have talented HR people; we need capable HR departments. The old adage I like my HR person; I hate my HR department may be out of date. We also found that HR departments should build practices and activities with an eye to employees and investors, but they should involve line managers and customers to make things happen. q HR Organization. When the HR organization is aligned with the business strategy and with the business organization, higher business results follow. CONCLUSION The business context required to succeed has raised the bar on HR professionals. HR professionals who would have succeeded 30, 20, even 10 years ago would not be as likely to succeed today. HR professionals are expected to play new roles, and to be able to play those roles, they need new competencies. As a result of the Human Resource Competency Study we have a greater understanding of the competencies needed by HR professionals and agendas needed by HR departments to impact business performance. 14
